"T's" birthday celebration lasted almost a month.First we had a family party, then the "husbird" and I took him to dinner at the restaurant of this choice, and then he had a friend party,quite the lucky ten year old.

Last month while making this chocolate cake for "T's" friend birthday partyhe asked me, Have you ever made up a recipe?"Me: No, I've changed recipes to make them better, but I've never made up one."T": I think you should try, besides if it doesn't turn out dad will eat it, he'll eat anything.Me: True. True.

By the way, the cake was a disaster. I don't know what I did wrong.I followed the instructions exactly.It didn't raise fully, I am not a cake maker.Thank goodness for frosting, lots and lots of frosting.At least it tasted great, all the kids asked for seconds at the party.

I must being doing something right because the night of his party the "husbird" found a thank you letter under his pillow, yes I'm taking the credit, since I'm the one who is constantly reminding him to write thank you notes. I just never expected to receive one myself. What a nice surprise!It said,To MOM:
